The ‘What Are They Actually Doing’ test from American Gut analyzes up to five of your gut samples using RNA expression profiling. This test reports on the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present, and indicates which of their genes are ‘turned on’.
You’ll receive a report that indicates how your diet or lifestyle may be affecting your microbiome, and how this in turn may be affecting microbial gene expression. The report will also suggest how your microbiome affects your health.
